Abstract:
Objective To study effect of Taxol on protein O-GlcNAcylation levels and investigate whether protein O-GlcNAcylation levels can affect the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to Taxol.Methods Western blot analysis was performed to examine protein O-GlcNAcylation levels and the expression of enzymes related to O-GlcNAcylation biosynthesis in Taxol treated breast cancer cells.RT-qPCR was used to analyze the effects of Taxol on OGA and OGT mRNA expression in cancer cells.The sulforhodamine B colorimetric assay was used to determine the effect of alteration of protein O-GlcNAcylation on the anti-proliferation of Taxol in breast cancer cells by adding OGA inhibitor and OGT inhibitor, respectively.Results Taxol treatment enhanced protein O-GlcNAcylation levels in dose-and time-dependent manners in breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 ( P <0.05 ) .Taxol increased the mRNA levels of OGT and OGA after MDA-MB-231 cells were treated for 24 h(P<0.05).As OGA inhibitors increased protein O-GlcNAcylation levels, the sensitivity of MDA-MB-231 to Taxol was increased.As OGT inhibitor decreased protein O-GlcNAcylation levels, the sensitivity of MDA-MB-231 to Taxol was reduced.Conclusion Taxol treatment can enhance protein O-GlcNAcylation levels and the changes of O-GlcNAcylation levels alter the sensitivity of breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 to Taxol.
